Getting praised by someone you look upto…
[image error]
It’s with great pride and with a struggle to stay grounded, that I read these words of praise showered upon my book ‘Rhythm of Remembrance’.
I remember the first time I picked up Shubhangi Swarup’s lyrically luminous book ‘Latitudes of Longing’, I was in awe of the title, for the way it pairs a geographical term with an emotional one. Later as I absorbed…
…each word,
each phrase,

The most striking part of this book is the contradictory feeling each story leaves you with. When a story ends on a positive note, you remember the title of the book "The Things We Don't Do" which means the happy ending is more of a wish that wasn't

Spilling, Splashing all the way,
Drenching the one who carries it,
Like an overfilled vessel…
His heart bursts inside him,
While he drives past her lane.”

“The trouble begins when a group of people are conditioned in different ways to believe that their heritage is superior to that of others. That is a dangerous kind of conditioning, especially in a country like ours that has a shared heritage. However, many people have convinced themselves about the supremacy of their mythologies over the ideas that their mythologies are trying to convey. So, while our epics warn us against arrogance, we embody the same arrogance to promote our religions. In a way, that is self-defeating. Many of us are stuck up in stagnancy of pride over our heritage, without taking the pain of diving deeper in ancient ideas to understand the essence of those epics. Only if we did, we would realize that in almost every country, majority of the population is brainwashed to commit the same mistake that their holy books warned them against, while ironically celebrating mythological as well as historical figures with empty hero worship.”
